Early morning a few days later...
The weather today was very good, suitable for a long journey, so early in the morning, an old horse pulled a wooden two-wheeled cart and an adventure team were waiting outside the northern gate of E-Rantel City.
At this time, in addition to Nfirea Barreare, the person who commissioned the task, the genius grandson of a pharmacist in the city, there were also Peter Mock, the captain of the "Dark Sword" adventurer team, and the team. The guerrilla Luclote Polbu, the magic chanter Nia, the forest priest Dyne Woodwanda, and the warrior Momo wearing gorgeous gold-rimmed armor and his companion Nabe.
'...'
'Everyone should be here, why haven't you set off yet? '
That Ainz Ooal Gown, or it could be said to be the warrior 'Momo', first looked around and felt that everyone seemed to have arrived. He didn't know why, but he had always been feeling a little uneasy, and suddenly he became impatient. He opened his mouth and urged an employer to ask.
Because he is illiterate, the adventurer's level is too low (bronze medal), and he has no money (spent), so he had to accept the invitation of the 'Dark Sword' and prepare to go to the north of Kahn Village for a certain genius pharmacist. Collecting herbs in the dense forest provides escort services. While making money, you can also earn certain points for your adventurer level so that you can upgrade to a higher rank in the future?
'ah? '
'that……'
'I can leave at any time...'
'Sorry, Captain Mork, can I ask a question? It seems that everyone is here, why don't we set off now? '
Nfirea Bareare himself can't wait any longer. He also wants to set off early and collect the needed herbs. By then, he might still have time to go to Kahn Village to visit his best friend. The person you care about the most?
'It will be soon! '
'We still need to wait for one person, a new temporary member we just found yesterday. Her spell power is very good. She will definitely be more confident if she joins, so we need to wait a little longer...'
'look! ! '
'She is coming! ! '
Captain Peter Mock hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should continue to waste time and wait... However, he quickly relaxed and pointed happily at someone who was facing them from the city gate. The little girl running over said with a smile.
He just thought that the other party would be given up on the first day because of being late. Fortunately, at the last moment, the other party arrived in time.
'! ! '
'! ! '
However…..
Seeing the figure appearing in the distance, the warrior Momo and the female swordsman spellcaster Nabe instantly became as alert as two frightened kittens. Then they looked at each other in horror and then tensed up. They held their bodies and made some necessary preparations.
You know, they deliberately spent a few days and after careful consideration, they felt that the most dangerous place was the safest place, so they returned to the town of E-Rantel again and started investigation and activities here, but no matter what they thought, it was like this Now that I'm a child, I can still meet that haunting little girl?
"alright!"
"Before setting off, let me introduce you to: Annie, this is the warrior Momo, and this is his companion Miss Nabe, a magic caster who is said to be able to cast third-level spells!"
"Your Excellency Mo Mo and Miss Nabe, this is the temporary member of our Dark Sword, the magic caster Anne Hastur. Don't look at her young age, her fire magic is very good!"
Completely unaware of the soldier Momo's tense body and Miss Nabe's face as if she was covered in frost, Captain Peter Mock directly introduced the two parties in a generous manner.
"Hi~!"
(*´▽｀)ノ
"Hello, Miss Shu and Miss, we meet again!"
(｡•̀ꌂ-)✧
After seeing a familiar guy for the third time, Annie blinked and said hello to him with a grimace. She didn't care at all that the other person seemed ready to attack or run away at any time, and then she said hello. Then she climbed directly onto the car and sat on the rear guardrail of the carriage, signaling that she was ready and the team could set off at any time.
(…)
(●￣㉨￣●)
'...'
'...'
Momo and Nabe didn't speak. They still kept their bodies tense and paid attention to every move of a certain little girl, and were mentally prepared to deal with it at any time.
To be honest, both of them felt a little regretful at this time, and they never expected that the other party was still staying in the city of E-Rantel, and that they happened to bump into each other again... ...If they had known this was the case, they should not have been lucky before, and should have gone directly to other cities to avoid the limelight.
'...'
'H-hello! '
After hesitating for a moment, seeing everyone looking at him, and seeing the other person just sitting on the back of the carriage, blinking at him and seemingly not wanting to do anything, the soldier Momo reluctantly nodded stiffly to the other person. He nodded and said hello.
"??"
"Your Excellency Momo, and little Annie, have you known each other before?"
Looking at the expressions of both parties, especially the reaction of Miss Nabe, who was like an iceberg beauty, no matter how slow he was, Peter Mock, the captain of the adventure team, could faintly see that something was wrong, so he He asked with some hesitation.
'...'
'...'
The warrior Momo and the female swordsman Nabe did not answer directly. They just continued to stare silently at the little girl who climbed to the rear of the carriage and was sitting on the edge with her legs dangling, waiting for the other party's response or reaction.
"Of course!"
(｡•̀ᴗ-)✧
"They had a fight with him before, and then set fire to him and beat him badly, so he was very scared when he saw him. The last time he met him in the city, he turned around and ran away!"
☆⌒(*＾-゜)v❤!!
Anne didn't care at all to expose each other's shortcomings and admitted that there had been friction and some unpleasantness between them.
Of course, the unpleasantness must be caused by the other party, and she said that it was very pleasant and she basically achieved her goal?
"ah!"
"So that's what it is..."
Looking at a certain little girl who didn't care at all, and then looking at the two temporary teammates Mo Mojun and Miss Nabe who were waiting on the other side, captain Peter Mock knew that it was very likely that the carefree little girl said is indeed true.
"In that case..."
"Three!"
"I don't care what friction or discord there has been between you, but now that this task has been taken over by our 'Dark Sword' team, and since you are all adventurers who collaborate and assist our team, then I have one request here: before the mission is over, you must not have conflicts or engage in any hostile behavior. Can you do it?"
"If I can't do that, I will have to exercise my authority as a captain certified by the Adventurer's Guild and fire one or both of you here!"
After looking at each other with his three companions, and then at the employer for a while, and seeing that the employer didn't seem to have any major objections, Peter Mock spoke loudly with a straight face.
"..."
snort!
The warrior 'Momo' still didn't speak, just snorted coldly in his heart... because the key to the problem now is not whether he wants to fight or not, but whether the other party wants to embarrass him or let them go. ?
But this time is different from last time... He has a lot of world-class props on him this time. If the other party attacks him again, even if he is not absolutely sure to defeat the other party, he can guarantee that he will not be like It was so embarrassing last time!
"Of course it's no problem!"
(*^▽^*)
"that……"
(„ಡωಡ„)
"Brother Momo, how about we make peace now, and I promise that I won't hit you or cause trouble for you again in the future. Is that okay?"
|˛˙꒳˙)?
After promising the weak captain Peter Mock, Annie turned and looked at the soldier Momo on the other side who had been on guard.
Although she didn't know why the other party pretended to be a warrior despite being a lich, and she didn't know why the beautiful young lady next to him deliberately suppressed her own power. However, Anne only knew that she seemed to be interested in that person. The Lich who had been burned into Ghost Rider by himself, was even a little bit interested in that big skeleton?
And, Annie promises, she really didn’t mean it...well, she just got into this team on purpose! The reason is nothing more than wanting to know more about that big skeleton and see what interesting things the other party wants to do.
And if there is nothing interesting to do by then, she will naturally leave, so she will not deliberately make things difficult or set fire to the other party again!
"..."
"Okay! Let's make it a deal?"
I feel that blindly escaping is not the answer. It may only arouse the other party's curiosity and secret prying. And now it seems that the other party really doesn't want to fight with me anymore. Ainz Ooal Gown, or rather the warrior' After Mo' hesitated for a while, he pressed his companion Nabe's shoulder and patted it gently to signal the other party not to get excited before nodding solemnly in agreement.
He had to agree, because the other party was very strong, and there was no way to let the other party take the initiative without any certainty.
"It's a deal!"
ꉂ(๑¯͒ꇴ¯͒)✧
"Whoever dares to cheat will be turned into a big skeleton, and then burned into a torch and hidden in a tomb, never to be seen again!!" Jiujiu Chinese
(*๓´ꌂ`๓)
Anne swore generously, once again promising that she would not take action easily and signaling to the other party to rest assured.
'! ! '
'you! ! '
However, it would have been better if Anne didn't say that. As soon as she said that, Nabe suddenly became a little angry and inexplicable. If it weren't for the soldier Momo's big hand on her shoulder, she must have rushed up long ago. Did you swing your sword at Annie?
"Well!"
"It's getting late, although I still feel that it's a little unsafe... But since you have all negotiated and guaranteed, let's set off now!"
Peter Mock, the captain of the adventurer team, saw that the atmosphere between the two parties had eased a little. He saw that the little girl Annie had no intention of doing anything, and that the soldier Momo was also trying his best to suppress his companions and maintain restraint. After that, he was finally able to relax and signaled to his employer that they were ready to go. This group of people would definitely be able to ensure their safe return.
"??"
"Hey! Annie, what's going on with your adventurer level sign?"
At this time, not long after the team started to set off, the guerrilla who was following the team boredly. In this safe zone, there was no need to set off in advance to explore the road. The guerrilla soldier with extraordinary observation skills acted as the eyes and ears of the 'Sword of Darkness'. At the same time, he was also a bit frivolous and funny. Luclotte Polbu, who had "confessed" to Nabe many times, finally discovered something was wrong, and suddenly pointed at the little girl hanging around his neck. The necklace-like adventurer level sign asked in surprise.
That's because the grade sign hung by the other party is not any one he knows, but one he has never seen before. Although the appearance is the same, it does look like a blue crystal, and it emits bright and colorful light in the sun. Beautiful grade brand?
"Eh?"
‼ (•'╻'•)
"Is that what you're talking about?"
(๑‾ꇴ‾๑) Hehe!
“It’s a diamond-level adventurer level certificate!!”
o(*¯︶¯*)o
Seeing that someone finally noticed the result of her whole night's pondering, Anne proudly showed off to the four people from the 'Sword of Darkness' who were following the carriage.
'Diamond? Diamond? '
'Peter, what grade is the diamond? ! '
'ah……'
'I don't know, I only know that the levels of the Adventurer's Guild are divided into copper, iron, silver, gold, platinum, mithril, orichalcum and fine steel! As for diamonds... I don't think I've ever heard of them! '
'Nia and Dyne, what about you? '
'I haven't heard of it either...'
'have no idea. '
"Hello!"
"Little guy, what's going on with this diamond brand of yours?!"
After asking around and finding that no one knew, Luclotte had no choice but to give up. Instead, he approached the little girl with some confusion and pointed at the beautiful one hanging on her chest, which was reflecting the bright colors. asked the so-called 'Diamond' brand of Ray.
"It's very simple!"
๑乛◡乛๑
"The 'Diamond' level is the level above 'Steel'. It is the highest 'Brilliant Diamond' level in the Adventurers Association!!"
໒(⊙ᴗ⊙)☝
Originally, Annie wanted to get a grandmaster or the strongest king tier card, but after thinking about it, she was afraid that these ignorant natives wouldn't recognize it, so she had to settle for the next best thing and get this dazzling diamond. A brand that is different from all levels of the Adventurer's Guild, but one that everyone can recognize at a glance as an extraordinary and beautiful diamond necklace.
(…)
(ー㉨ー；)
'! ! '
'Has the Adventurer's Guild released a diamond-level adventurer level? When was that and why don’t we know? '
'never heard of that……'
'I haven't heard of it either...'
'It seems that fine steel has always been the highest grade, right? '
'...'
"I see!"
"Little guy, you didn't get the medal yourself, did you? I remember, didn't you still get the bronze medal yesterday?!"
Finally, after communicating with his companions and confirming that he had not made any mistakes, Luclotte Polbue cast his puzzled and incredulous eyes on the little guy who refused to get off the carriage, and said with extreme The eyes of envy and suspicion were firmly fixed on the grade necklace hanging around the other person's neck.
"That's right!"
o(*¯︶¯*)o
"They wanted the highest grade of stainless steel, but they wouldn't give it to them, so after they beat those guys to the ground, they gave themselves this diamond brand! How about it, aren't they super powerful?!"
↜(ψ｀▽′)o
Without blushing or heartbeat, Annie asked the evaluators of the Adventurer's Guild to raise her rank to no avail. Then she made a scene in the Adventurer's Guild and beat up the staff and a certain hateful president. , and finally told him about changing his cards.
'...'
'...'
'...'
have to!
At this moment, the members of the 'Sword of Darkness' who had figured out the cause of the matter suddenly fell silent... After all, changing their adventurer level by themselves was really a shame in their eyes!
'...'
'Momoda...Sir, did you and Manager Albedo lose at the hands of a guy like that? ! '
After opening a path in front and walking for a while, when bursts of ridiculing laughter from the members of the 'Sword of Darkness' and the angry scolding of a little girl came from behind, Nabe was silent for a while, and then suddenly said with some confusion. He asked softly towards his master walking next to him.
'...'
'Yes! '
Ainz Ooal Gown...or rather the warrior 'Momo' didn't know what to say. Apparently, he had also heard the conversation between the little girl and Luclotte Polbu just now.
'! ! '
'Are you sure she is really that powerful? '
'There is indeed...'
'But why do my subordinates always feel that she doesn't look so powerful? '
'...'
'Nabe, don't be deceived by your intuition, and don't underestimate your enemy...'
'Momoda...Sir, I don't have it! '
'No? '
'yes! '
'So……'
'Do you think I will set myself on fire, or do you think Albedo will injure herself and then show off the enemy's strength? '
'ah? Hug, sorry, sir, I know I was wrong! '
'real? '
'Yes! Mo Moda... Sir, my subordinate was rude just now! ! '
'Well……'
'Okay, don't be too cautious, they are still following behind, be careful they hear! '
'yes! '
'Let's go! I hope nothing happens on this trip...'
